Desert Dawn
Ambrosia for heart, soul and spirit...
Still of desert morn
sun reflecting earthen color
tinting sabbath sky breaking
dawn resting day.
Ambrosia
for heart, soul and spirit...

Eucalyptus Waking
Greeting the Arizona sun at dawn...
Arid zone of two seasons,
summer and winter, daily waits
nightfall to cool the desert floor.
Respite in which it rehydrates,
nevertheless, usually greeted
each morn on a new date...
With the sun it cannot ignore.

The Sun Rises
Bringing a new day to paint our own way...
Life is more art than science although knowing facts in life are part of the science of living. These facts are realities that help us understand how to interpret what is happening around us. If we have spent time building firm foundations to structure strong qualities in our character we are able to create a world we call our own rather than the world owning us. This gives us control over our sense of self so when a tough day comes along we have the sensibility to call things as they are to move beyond them and look forward. Rather than dwell on where we are now we make an assessment of what we would like to happen next. The choice is to recognize what is destructive and turn it into something finer and superior with an act of behavior. For many of us that action is bringing into existence a change in our outlook through some form of artistry of our choosing.
We allow ourselves the freedom to create art that expresses what we have thought and felt, what we are thinking and feeling and further what we would like to think and feel. The parallel to life with art and science is we learn some techniques that are factual and scientific, for example the technicalities of photography and post processing, using those as a basis for our art. If we construct art that articulates our interpretation of life we have an opportunity to compose artwork that speaks to both the tough moments of life and the great ones. For me it is writing and visual art that documents and expresses the stark moments of life alongside crafting works of elegance and symmetry to make things right in my world. It is an act of healing that is beautiful and meaningful not only to me but also to those who view and appreciate it.
